when I first saw this quote I was like 'that's either david lynch or hideo kojima' and then read the source and realised it's the third and last of their species

here's some other great bits from the interview

vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

[calder]

vegans will pretend not to hear when natives tell them their agave products are unsustainable because they have whimsical feelings about, and i cannot stress this enough, the freedom of hive insects

Honey is literally murder but go off

[kasaron]

Prove it.

They literally puke their guts up to make your honey

[kasaron]

I have not seen any evidence tonsugges they are harmed or die in the process of production. They do regurgitate the nectar as part of the process to concentrate it into honey (an interesting process) but they do not suffer any injury during this process. If they did, the cost to produce honey, which is done naturally as a measure to survive over winter and through times of lower availability, would outweigh the benefits. If you kill several bees to produce enough honey to make one more bee, It makes no sense. Any animal that did that would die, even with human intervention.

Do you have any sources which suggest otherwise? I’d be interested to hear of this (relatively publicly available) information was false or misunderstood.

Bee farmers use whats called a honey maker. It’s a crude devices. It similar to a meat grinder. They force the bees in and grind them up. What comes out is a paste. That paste is later filtered into what we know as honey

[hematite2]

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read

[leonardo-nierman]

@zoologicallyobsessed please show us pics of your bee grinder

[gemstone-gynoid]

they might be falsely thinking about a honey extractor machine. but all these do is you place the beehive frames inside and a motor rotates it at a speed that removes the honey, which is then tapped through a tap at the bottom. 

[darkenedyeastextract]

…do they think they put bees in that and spin them around until they vomit…?

bad and naughty bees get put into the b e e c e n t r i f u g e to extract their honey

Vegans coming after beekeepers is one of my major teeth grinding annoyances. For many reasons, because there’s so many lies. And to go one step further because it’s such a waste. You see, the strongest vegan argument is that they don’t want to exploit animals or take from them without their consent.

… but… Bees consent. NO. I’M NOT KIDDING.

How? Bee hives aren’t kept on leashes. They’re outside, the bees can travel miles every day. They follow their queen. Who is also outside, not on a leash, and can travel miles every day. If she doesn’t like the hive for any reason - for example: it got too hot, too cold, too messy, too filled with sugary stuff and they need more space… then the queen leaves. And with her the hive.

The queen stays in the hive because the hive is the best place to live. Period. Done. End of. If the hive is staying with the beekeeper it’s because the keeper is doing their job correctly and keeping them happy because the bees can, and do, leave bad beekeepers.

Of all the animals we have domesticated as livestock, bees are the ones you can most easily argue are consenting participants in their keeping.

Dad passed this lady her drink and she said "thank you sir... Well I guess I'm not allowed to say sir anymore... Since it's a pronoun!" and he literally just looked at her like this 😐

[evilvarric666-archive]

He's now very worriedly asking me if he "looks like a conservative".

The worldbuilding for Madoka Magica is so laughably ridiculous the more I think about it. There’s an entire conspiracy of alien ferrets bolstering human evolution because we are canonically so stupid we could not have done it on our own. Said alien ferrets have learned to harvest human emotions as an energy source to prevent the heat-death of the universe but EXCLUSIVELY target teenage girls because that’s the only demographic that emotes hard enough to do this viably. They also think having emotions is a mental illness. They start poking around the soul of a teenage lesbian and accidentally turn her into Satan and she is now hunting them for sport.

like. im serious. when was the last time you read a book and paid attention to every word and actually tried to absorb what you were reading. when was the last time you saw a piece of art and considered the hours it took to bring it into fruition. when was the last time you closed your eyes when listening to an album for a first time and kept them closed until the final song ended. have you gone to the park lately just to watch the birds fly from perch to perch? have you stopped to count your blessings?

As a freshly-converted communist I can easily imagine how those stand-up comedians who take hard right anti-woke turns must feel–the sheer elation of openly expressing ideas that were once forbidden to even whisper, that perhaps they dared not even to contemplate.

The difference of course is that in my case those forbidden ideas are things like “Politicians should go to jail when they commit crimes no matter which party they belong to,” “Corporations shouldn’t be above the law,” and “Bombing children is wrong,” as opposed to “Fuck everyone whose identity I can’t personally wrap my head around.”

[lordandgodoftheobvious]

“You don’t have to be a communist to believe corporations shouldn’t be above the law, LMAO.”

Tell me, when the manchild who rules Florida decided that his 6,283,185th petulant fit of virtue signalling would be to take on the Disney corporation, was your reaction “Sweet, that asshole might accidentally do something good for the people of Florida for once,”…or did you, like so many talking heads on MSNBC, decide that because (I wanna say) Ron DeSantis(?) was the bad guy that made Disney, the multinational corporation that’s been treating a large swath of central Florida as its own personal fiefdom for decades now, the good guy?

Answer truthfully.

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, I need to let people know how dangerous the healthcare privacy climate is now. As someone that works with PHI (protected health information) I want to stress that HIPAA (the law that prevents your health data from being shared) does not apply to healthcare apps. These are incredibly dangerous to use, not only because law enforcement can procure a subpoena to access this information, but because these apps can sell your health data to any third party—potentially anti-abortion activists. Anyone with a uterus should delete not only period trackers, but mental health apps, because if you have a miscarriage or seek an abortion in a state that outlaws it, your mental health history can be used against you.

I would also discourage people from using online therapy apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace. Though BetterHelp says they are HIPAA compliant, that is a lie. They have shared data with Facebook. Their most recent privacy policy update says “We may share your information in connection with an asset sale, merger, bankruptcy, or other business transaction.” Any data breach could put your information at risk. Any health app could suddenly decide to change their privacy policies without notice.

Most responsible clinicians put your health data under (many times literally) lock and key. PHI software like Epic or Cerner have numerous failsafes to prevent data leaks. This is not the case for apps. BetterHelp and healthcare apps in general do not care about this. They only care about money. Do not trust any app or healthcare provider that operates strictly online. And for your own sake, use a VPN if you’re searching for abortion providers or advice.
